To the Editor:
I strongly disagree with the N.J. State Bar Association Nominating Committee’s decision to break with established tradition in refusing to nominate me as treasurer for the coming year. There is no language in the NJSBA bylaws, or any other governing document, that contemplates disqualifying an uncontested officer or trustee candidate because he practices law in New Jersey as well as another state. The committee’s decision to decline to nominate on such a basis is without precedent in our 113-year history and appears to be informed by a novel interpretation of the bylaws that is discordant with the committee’s well-established precedent and procedures.
